darwen may be closer to accy in size but darwen dosnt have an abhorant arndale center ,tescos and asda supermarkets

they have just got a morrisons a few years back so the destruction of tehir town center may be in the early stages but up until that point darwens indoor market and side street shops were more than adequate for a town of its size

its just a pitty our council didnt realise the same and stopped trying to make accrington to be something it isnt

the arndale didnt attract buisness to accrington it simply moved them from broadway into teh arndale and then a couple of years later the big names moved to whitebirk taking shoppers to blackburn
